What is it—infatica-service-app.exe?


Just a quick comment that other forum users might find helpful.

I'm just getting used to a new laptop and I had a message about Interfacia-service-app.exe from my internet security software, Bitdefender Total Security. On investigation Bitdefender had detected this exe attempting to connect to some other remote server and blocked it.

I found out how to delete by first using the task manager to stop it running and then deleting the relevant folder in Program files (x86). Hopefully it won't return.

I too have installed the K-lite codec pack (mainly for the media player which is very easy to use) about three weeks ago.

A brief addition.

This morning after logging on to my laptop I had a report from Bitdefender. A few of the notifications are shown in the image I've attached. As can be seen Bitdefender takes this infection pretty seriously. In 15 years of using Bitdefender on three machines this is the most serious analysis I've seen.
I can confirm that my infection was from K-lite codec pak downloaded on Dec 4th 2022.

My other two computers both use k-lite. These versions were downloaded earlier than 2020 and no infections have been detected.

For the benefit of anybody trying to figure out how to delete the infection, I did it by finding the running Interfacia-service-App.exe using task manager and ending the task. After that you can go to Programs(x86) and locate and delete the exe file. I then ran Wise registry cleaner as a precaution. So far the malware hasn't returned.

I have k-lite codec pack full. I update with the update packs, but when a new full version is released, I install the full pack. I get my files from Codec Guide: K-Lite Codec Pack - For Windows 11 / 10 / 8.1 / 7 . I don't have this infatica-service-app.exe on my system. I don't believe k-lite is "infected" although depending on where it's downloaded from, the site could possibly package the download with the legit installer. You can submit the full.exe to Virus total and get zero results. I can't say how y'all got it, but the legit k-lite installer doesn't appear to be it...assuming it's not just a Windows 11 thing somehow, as I'm on 10

Version 17.3.5 Full ~ 48.1 MB ~ December 15th 2022

All - even if Infatica is a legit company with legit business products it does not mean their update servers do not get hacked and through it an auto update process turns a previously non-malicious software into a malicious one.

Also, any application that processes untrusted 3rd party data packets (Infatica does) it can be subject to a rapidly spreading 0day attack.

It is one of those two scenarios that made Infatica wake up after a December k-lite codec pack installation to wreak havoc on a machine.

This computer program is extremely dangerous because it can be used for illegal activity using your computer and/or it seems to have a 0 day vulnerability that is being used to steal personal information from the computers it has been installed on.

Remove it as soon as you find it.

Codec 321 is where I was infected with this unwanted software that has been stealing 1500mb per month since 18-1-23. I am not at all impressed I have uninstalled it then removed the program folder from windows/porgram files or the other program files in windows. very dirty trick to pull on some one on a budget with limited data usage. Get rid of it immediately we don't need peer to peer networking in this day and age as things move so fast, Are there laws yet for data steeling when its made apply it to online commercials as well.

I downloaded K-Lite Codec Pack 17.6.8 because my powerpoint can't play the video, Dr.web also thinks it's a computer virus, but I deleted the infatica-service and the video still plays fine in ppt, I thinks it's a strange file!

There's no "paying attention" issue. It gets installed in the background as part of the standard or full K-Lite package.

I installed K-Lite today after re-installing Windows a few days ago. I noticed it immediately after I ran Revo to see a list of new applications installed. It doesn't appear though in subsequent updates.

I downloaded an application for maintaining confidentiality on the Internet, VPN Servers, after installing it, three more applications from the Russian Internet zone were installed together with it without my consent, and subsequently I lost some of the licensed programs I purchased related to the Windows license. Infatica P2B, Norton 360, Jandex, Mail.ru. Then Trojan programs appeared on the computer that could not be removed. After Windows was restored, part of the license disappeared from the checkpoint. In this case, there is hacking of the surrounding antennas, which interfere with your thinking process.

I just found this application on my PC and Googled it. This is just pathetic. Some people, especially where I live, have limited internet and have to pay a lot of money just for bread crumbs. One service I was on you got 800 MB per day. You have to update Windows and your allotment is about totally used for the day. And this company uses your internet without any consent which is STEALING your money. And they offer services that cost a good bit of money. You get what out of this? This is from a website [hxxps://infatica-p2b-network.updatestar.com/en]:

How much does Infatica P2B Network cost?​

Infatica P2B Network offers multiple pricing plans based on usage volume, starting at $360 per month for 100 GB of traffic. Custom plans are also available for high-volume users.
Click to expand...

I am not the kind of person who sits back and waits for a solution if I can do it myself. I download this through the official site and I get it from MajorGeeks website. And I do know that MG is pretty strict in how their software is labeled. I am going to uninstall and reinstall KLCP and see if this malware shows up again. I will read every word when installing KLCP looking for how they justify this application being installed on your PC apparently without your consent. I will report again if I have any internet left to my name.

Searching their forum no longer has the 'infatica' topic as listed in this forum. I was hoping to read that information but I guess I have to start from the bottom.
